pray for them. i think most of them are trying their best to love God even though certain things are quite misguidedmy feelings gat hurt when I read the book of Mormon, I gat to chapter 13 and felt a sense of racism so I had to ask them to stop coming to my house, I even quit my job because the company (pest control) was owned by Mormons. I no longer want to support them in anything unless they are leaving there church…
Which book? Saying “Chapter 13 of the Book of Mormon” is like saying “Chapter 13 of the Bible”. It’s a collection of books.my feelings gat hurt when I read the book of Mormon, I gat to chapter 13 and felt a sense of racism so I had to ask them to stop coming to my house, I even quit my job because the company (pest control) was owned by Mormons. I no longer want to support them in anything unless they are leaving there church…
No to Mormons, Native Americans are the decendents of Laman and Lemual, Nephi 's brothers if I recall…they are not Gentiles…first Nephi chapter 13 , the man named Nephi is dreaming and having a vision, he sees that “Beautiful white people" will come and destroy the gentiles(native Americans) and take back the land that belongs to them, also he says that God will be ok with the “Beautiful white peoples" ugly ways and that it’s perfectly fine to torture the gentiles(native Americans).
Michael D. Coe says about the Book of Mormon, “It’s so racist it hurts.”my feelings gat hurt when I read the book of Mormon, I gat to chapter 13 and felt a sense of racism so I had to ask them to stop coming to my house, I even quit my job because the company (pest control) was owned by Mormons.

you are right, ,No to Mormons, Native Americans are the decendents of Laman and Lemual, Nephi 's brothers if I recall…they are not Gentiles…
They gave me the book for free, I gat bored one day and decided to read the book, it was very interesting and good until I gat to Nephi chapter 13’Sorry for asking, but WHY do you read it? I agree we must pray for them and I actually know one Mormon, but some thoughts they have is so far from Christianity it can. Smith just happen to “stumble” on something “golden” in the forest? They most likely mean well, and we can hope that God will judge them by the deeds, but…we have a free will…
Don’t worry, think about it like this: you are wiser now then before you got that book. I wish I would understand books like other (normal) people do, but about Mormons. We don’t need to approve, but we need to respect, so let all the flowers bloom,as we said in the 70th:s They have a right to believe as they do, as we have our right. Freedom is not only accepting what we accept, it all about accepting, still maybe not approving, what other accept. On a forum like this we must all the time remember one thing, don’t hurt anyone. You know, “love your neighbour as you love yourself”. We have our life and other people have their but we all need to share this globe when it travel in the space, going somewhere, so we need to give all the rights we want us to have.They gave me the book for free, I gat bored one day and decided to read the book, it was very interesting and good until I gat to Nephi chapter 13’
Actually, an angel told him where to look, SO THE FAIRY TALE GOES.…Smith just happen to “stumble” on something “golden” in the forest? …
This work of fiction came to pass in the first half of the 19th century. European Christians believed the land was theirs, as a providential gift. Thus, we find the same ideas you are reading in the Book of Mormon, rooted in American Exceptionalism, which had strong racial themes in the 19th century.first Nephi chapter 13 , the man named Nephi is dreaming and having a vision, he sees that “Beautiful white people" will come and destroy the gentiles(native Americans) and take back the land that belongs to them, also he says that God will be ok with the “Beautiful white peoples" ugly ways and that it’s perfectly fine to torture the gentiles(native Americans).
